Question
hello ma'am. may i know the most important minerals that a thoroughbred racehorse should receive in its diet?

Answer
Hello Caine,

Thank you for your question.  It's always important to ensure that working horses have enough mineral in their diet.  Essential macrominerals include Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Chlorine and sulfur.  Microminerals include Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Selenium, and Zinc.  I hope this helps.

Thanks, Corlena
